Bumpy Wavy Nose 11 Weeks Post Op. Permanent or Swelling? (photo)

I am now 11 weeks post op and I have been wondering about some bumps that give my nose a wavy look. I don't know if these bumps are permenent or if they are a result of swelling. I have been mildly sunburned 3-4 times since the surgery and I drink alcohol every now and then and I know these are things that increase swelling. I was wondering if it could be a cause of that and if I could have done any long term damage. Also I would like to know if I can expect my nose to improve significantly.
